【 摘 要 】

Intense muon beams have many potential applications, including neutrino factories and muon colliders. However, muons are produced in tertiary beams into a diffuse phase space. To make useful beams, the muons must be rapidly cooled before they decay. A promising new concept for the collection and cooling of muon beams is being investigated, namely, the use of a nearly Isochronous Helical Transport Channel (IHTC) to facilitate capture of muons into RF bunches. Such a distribution could be cooled quickly and coalesced into a single bunch to optimize the luminosity of a muon collider. We describe the IHTC and provide simulations demonstrating isochronicity, even in the absence of RF and absorber.
